### 🚀 Android testers wanted — help me launch my app! (free, ~2 weeks)

Hey all! I'm an indie developer and I just finished building an app called ChatChat. It's in the final stretch before launch, and Google requires a small group of real testers to run it for 14 days before I'm allowed to release it publicly. That's where you'd come in 🙏

(the official google rule: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/community-guide/255621488/everything-about-the-12-testers-requirement?hl=en)

## What it is:
ChatChat is a privacy-first local social app — chat with people around you, post to regional-location-based "walls," and send end-to-end encrypted direct messages. Your conversations stay yours, you can export your keys, no backend snooping on conversations, and your actual location stays private.

- 🌐 Check it out: https://chatchat.ch

## What you need:
 - 📱 An Android phone (no iPhone version yet, sorry!)
 - 🔑 A Google account
 - ⏳ Install it and keep it  on your phone for ~14 days
 - 👀 Open it daily, send a message in any chatroom or post to any wall.

## What you get:
 - ✨ Free early access before anyone else
 - 🎁 Free premium features during the test
 - 💙 My huge thanks + you helped a solo dev actually ship an app!

 - 💰 You can put this on your resume and I'll be a reference for you if you end up finding bugs and provide useful feedback.

## How to join — 2 quick steps:
 - 1️. Join the tester group here: 👉 https://groups.google.com/g/chatchat-ch (tap "Ask to join")
 - 2️.  Once you're in, install on your phone:

👉 https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.chatchat.app
 (Just joined? Give it a few minutes to sync before the install link works.) 

 - Then hit **Become a tester** and install from the Play Store. (If it says you're not a tester yet, wait a few minutes after I add you and refresh.)

Takes ~2 minutes to set up. Thank you so much — it really makes a difference 🙏
